They happen to be the second most famous baseball team of all time, yet they don't sell-out any of their games. What the hell??? What is wrong with the people of L.A???

Why go through the hassle of going to Dodger Stadium and running into folks like Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood, when you can stay home and watch the game in high-def on TV?
Dodger Stadium beating suspects bragged to co-workers, police say - latimes.com

The above mentioned beating, a team thats largely had a disappointing season on the field, high general ticket prices(sales and discounts abound but many fans don't know that), and ownership problems are all conspiring to keep ticket sales down.

There is an organized boycott of the Dodgers going on right now which will continue until McCourt sells.

Yep. McCourt gets no money from me. I'll listen to Scully instead

The organization has gone through rough times recently which has really created a black cloud over it. Ownership issues, the beating, and not really contending this year. A far cry from the glory years this once proud organization once enjoyed. When the ownership issue gets resolved, I think steps will be taken to create a great vibe there at the ball park. From a historical standpoint its really unfair to judge this organization on what has happened the last couple of years. A winning season can change and erase all of that, with fans wanting to come to Dodger Stadium.

although they are on a hot streak it's a little too late to make a serious run at the division.That's part of it as well as the thug atmosphere that's seemed to have taken over in recent years.And unfortunately if you don't want to sit near them you better be willing to shell out alot to get seats in a goodmlocatiom there.And McCourt has screwed this franchise over in a big way.I don't like the idea of China becoming "investors" in the Dodgers either.I'd like to see how China would embrace an attempt by an American corporation if they wanted to buy the Shanghai Sharks (Yao Mings old team).Mark Cuban is my dream choice as owner .
